BACKGROUND.

In October of 1492, Columbus landed in the New World. Nobody Knew it
and the Bible didnt say anything about it. The new kingdom of Spain
had a big challenge, conquest and colonize the new terrains. 
The Spanish, speciality Andalusian, Galician, Estremadurian and 
Castilians, started his exploration and conquested more terrains than
Roma ( the biggest empire known until the Renassience ) in all his
history. Most of this conquest take part of first half of the XVI 
century, with Charles I ( V of Germany ) as King. When Portuguese,
English, French and Dutch started the colonize of the Americas, Spain
had conquested the main part. A handful of brave men went to strange
lands to carry the Spanish culture, religion and laws, and to take all
the gold they could carry on his pockets, of course!. The "hueste
indiana" was formed by a Captain or Conquistador, with royal licence,
and a few soldiers, they conquested the new terrains and organized it.
This conquests came to the formation of the largest empire of the 
history, the Spanish empire of Philip II.
